03AF5E269678FFAE5BC77994FDE31AAE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: This species is distinguished by the black or redbrown color, small size (less than 2 mm), and convex elytral declivity with a row of long setae in interstriae 1, 3, 5, and 7. Females have a glabrous frons with a margin of incurved setae. Corthylus papulans Eichoff (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), present in southeastern USA, can be distinguished by its larger size, and small granules on the declivity. Distribution: Caribbean: Cuba (Santiago Province), Dominica, Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico. Hosts: unknown. Notes: Details on ecology are unknown.	en	Gomez, Demian F., Johnson, Andrew J., Hulcr, Jiri (2020): Potential pest bark and ambrosia beetles from Cuba not present in the continental United States.

03AF5E269678FFAF5BC77A56FF221C7F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: This species is distinguished from other Euwallacea by dull and steep elytral declivity, weakly impressed striae, and interstriae bricius) (both Coleoptera: Curculionidae), distinguished by the genuslevel characters. Euwallacea posticus has a subquadrate pronotum, versus evenly rounded in both X. affinis and X. volvulus. Distribution: Caribbean: Cuba (Cienfuegos Province, Sancti Spiritus Province), Dominica, Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico, Saint Lucia; Central America: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicara- gua, Panama; North America: Mexico; South America: Argentina, Bo- livia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Trinidad, Venezuela. Hosts: polyphagous, with several records in the families Agavaceae, Anacardiaceae, Cupressaceae, Cyrillaceae, Lecythidaceae, Mimosace- ae, Moraceae, Papilionaceae, Piperaceae, Rubiaceae, Rutaceae, Ster- culiaceae, Tiliaceae. Notes: Like other Euwallacea species, E. posticus is xylomycetophagous and colonizes a large number of hosts commonly found in injured, broken, or fallen branches and logs of wet forests (Wood 2007). Pérez- De La Cruz et al. (2009) and Mazón et al. (2013) recorded this species associated with cacao plantations in Mexico and Venezuela; Coto et al. (1995) recorded it as a pest of Citrus (Rutaceae) spp. in Central America. The species is widespread, but there is considerable varia- tion between specimens from different locations that may represent cryptic species.	en	Gomez, Demian F., Johnson, Andrew J., Hulcr, Jiri (2020): Potential pest bark and ambrosia beetles from Cuba not present in the continental United States.

03AF5E269679FFAF5B377EDDFAF91D2F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Distinguished by 7 pairs of spines along the declivity. The subspecies is morphologically distinct, distinguished by blunt fourth declivital spine in the declivity (acute in I. calligraphus) and interstrial punctures on elytra that are half the diameter of the strial punctures (smaller in I. calligraphus). Distribution: Caribbean: Bahamas, Cuba (Havana Province, Isla de la Juventud Province, Matanzas Province, Oriente Province, Pinar del Río Province, Sancti Spíritus Province), Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica. Hosts: Pinus caribaea, Pinus cubensis, Pinus occidentalis, Pinus tropicalis (all Pinaceae). Notes: Bright (2019) recognizes the Caribbean populations as a subspecies based on work of Lanier et al. (1991) using morphology, karyology, ecology, breeding experiments, and distribution. Further studies on I. calligraphus interstitialis should be conducted because it has been considered a synonym of I. calligraphus until recently, and we know little of how it would behave in the southeastern USA pine forests. Notes on biology and ecology have been extensively documented in Cuba, where it is one of the main threats to pine forests on the island (Zorrilla 1975, 1985; López-Castilla et al. 2009, 2010).	en	Gomez, Demian F., Johnson, Andrew J., Hulcr, Jiri (2020): Potential pest bark and ambrosia beetles from Cuba not present in the continental United States.

03AF5E269679FFAF587F7ECFFAC41958.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Distinguished by narrow antennal club segments and small rounded granules in the interstriae. Adults are 1.9 to 2.3 mm. Distinguished from the USA species of Phloeotribus by the stout body proportions of less than 2.0 times as long as wide (all other southeastern USA species are greater than 2.1 times as long as wide) with numerous long setae on the male’s antennal scape. Distribution: Caribbean: Cuba (Matanzas Province), Dominican Republic, Jamaica. Hosts: Recorded from 14 species in the families Araliaceae, Euphor- biaceae, Meliaceae, Moraceae, and Ulmaceae. Notes: Bright (2019) resurrected this species previously synony- mized with the similar Phloeotribus setulosus Eichhoff (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) based on characters in the epistoma of males and the frons in females. The species in this genus in the USA are restricted each to a different family of host trees, whereas P. setulosus appears to be polyphagous, and may be capable of developing in several orna- mental or specialty fruit crops in southern Florida.	en	Gomez, Demian F., Johnson, Andrew J., Hulcr, Jiri (2020): Potential pest bark and ambrosia beetles from Cuba not present in the continental United States.

03AF5E26967EFFA85BC77813FE9219CC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Adults are 2.5 mm. Distinguished from similar Pityophthorus by its large size, scattered pronotal asperities (not arranged in concentric rows), confused interstrial punctures on the elytral disc, convex elytral declivity, and by lack of granules in the interstriae 1. This species is similar to Pityophthorus pulicarius (Zimmermann) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) but P. eccentricus can be distinguished by the declivity which is entirely convex (slightly impressed in P. pulicarius) (Bright 2019). Distribution: Caribbean: Cuba (Santiago Province). Hosts: Unknown. The similar species, P. pulicarius, feeds on small twigs of Pinus spp.	en	Gomez, Demian F., Johnson, Andrew J., Hulcr, Jiri (2020): Potential pest bark and ambrosia beetles from Cuba not present in the continental United States.
